The Plain Jane of the sparrows


What a difference a day makes. This morning the weather was gorgeous, and the water at the marsh was as smooth as silk. Ducks were feeding all over the marsh, and birds were still in evidence in the trees and in the vegetation at the water's edge. I caught this Savannah Sparrow perched on a Curly Dock seed stalk, a common plant at the marsh. The Savannahs should be departing within the next month, although the odd one may winter over.
